''[[Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth]]'' is a horror/adventure video game based on the [[Cthulhu Mythos]], specifically ''[[The Shadow Over Innsmouth]]'' and is the last title developed by the now-defunct Headfirst Productions. It was published by Bethesda Softworks in the year 2005.
Players take on the role of Jack Walters, a police detective with a reputation for seemingly impossible insight into difficult cases, in 1920's Massachusetts. At the start of the game, the Boston Police Department has arrived at an old manor at the edge of the city to investigate alleged crimes of a resident cult called the Brotherhood of Yith. The cult is armed with rifles, and refuses to allow the police into the manor. They demand that Jack Walters be sent in to speak with them.
Line 19:
Not to be confused with the tabletop game ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]''. Now available for 9.99 USD on [[Steam]], so no need to [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]].

* [[100% Completion]]: Gathering all collectible intel items as well as performing all optional actions is required to get the extended ending that actually explains what the hell was going on with Jack the whole time. That's just ''one'' requirement though. You also need to score an "A" rank in the game by finishing quickly, not using too many saves, and overall playing exceptionally well. Or you can just watch it on Youtube. There is an unofficial fan-made patch [https://web.archive.org/web/20120203052528/http://sucklead.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DCoTEPatch.zip here] that removes some of the limitations, so one can actually take time to enjoy the game and still get the best ending.
